The Oumph! Burger awarded Best Vegan Burger

The Oumph! Burger has won the prestigious Best Vegan Burger in the 2020 Vegan Food & Living Product Awards. Up against the likes of Linda McCartney, Fry's and Quorn, The Oumph! Burger was praised for its texture, flavour and close resemblance to a meat-based burger.

The jury's verdict reads:

“This really tastes like a burger, with the crust and center being pretty bang on. It has a very enjoyable taste and texture. This is a great one for anyone doing Veganuary in particular as it proves that vegans don’t have to miss out!"

Nick Jacobs, Head of Sales UK & Ireland, Oumph! Food for Progress comments:

"We’re delighted to have won plant-based burger of the year and that it is testament to the incredible success the Oumph! Burger has achieved nationwide both in the retail sector but also within leading UK restaurants."

In Ireland The Oumph! Burger is available at SuperValu and Centra stores.
